KeepassXC is for desktop, while DX is for Android.

Here is a script to easily install WireGuard and generate client config files for any server: https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install

Sure, I get that. The issue is that as soon as you introduce the ability to install apps from outside the App Store, it becomes possible to trick unsuspecting users into clicking buttons they don’t understand. By designing a web page to look like an actual Apple page, a malicious party could convince users to “opt in” to outside sources, in a similar way in which phishing websites harvest users’ online banking credentials. Currently, this kind of attack is entirely impossible on iPhone.

On malware being distributed through alternate stores, yes. For example:

• https://cybernews.com/news/over-9-million-android-devices-infected-with-new-trojan-from-huaweis-app-store/
• https://www.pcmag.com/news/study-reveals-googles-play-store-is-main-distributor-of-malicious-apps (Table VII, “alt-market” row)

The real user benefit will be very small

This is just my gut feeling. It is based on not knowing anyone IRL that has willingly installed an Android app from outside the Play Store, but actually knowing people that avoid it because of the potential security implications.

You have to remember that the vast majority of smartphone users are not power users, and not the people who hang out on these forums. While something may look attractive in small circles like these, there are many other factors to consider when targetting the entire userbase.

I think that’s exactly the problem. The real user benefit will be very small, but in order to enable those changes, functionality will be implemented on everyone’s phones to support sideloading. In my eyes, this increseas the attack surface against iPhones. Time and time again alt stores have been used to distribute fake apps and malware on Android, and the victims are often those users who haven’t asked for sideloading and are unlikely to use it intentionally.

Yes, maybe this will enable an F-droid equivalent on iPhone and it will be great to have direct access to open-source apps. But is this niche addition worth potentially reducing the security of all iPhones? I’m not convinced.

The architectures are named after scientists. This one is for the mathematician David Blackwell.

Now, Google is bringing in Manifest V3, a new version of Chromium.

If this is the level of their understanding, it’s hard to trust anything this outlet publishes.

What were the limitations of borg that you ran into?

Here are some alternatives you can try.

ITT: People that don’t know the difference between privacy and security.

Do navigation gestures still work if you use a third party launcher? There was a time when it broke the animations and the gestures became clunky.

I think they run a lot of compute shader, so that they can offload part of the simulation to the GPU, so anything that reduces the utilization of the GPU could improve performance overall.

I used Standard Notes selfosted for a while, but, like many others, I’ve given up due to frequent issues. I’ve been trying Notesnook since and it more than does the job for me. A selfosted version should also be coming soon.

On Android, Glider is a nice client.

If you need earbuds, http://www.scarbir.com/ does similar.

This guy is gold! I’ve bought a few pairs of cheap headphones after reading his comparisons and reviews, and all have been spot on! He tests on both iPhone and Android, and he explains the differences in sound quality if very approachable and concise ways. When I need headphones again, his site is my no 1 stop.

I did read it and, just like your reply, it doesn’t answer my question.

What I’m asking about is a special case that is not directly addressed in the article. If the carrier supports eSIMs, i.e. you can buy one from them directly instead of a physical SIM, then maybe this transfer tool will work, with the disclaimer that it may not work in some cases. But if the carrier only offers physical SIMs, there is no information whether this new Pixel feature will let you create a usable eSIM.

TL;DW?

I’ve had bad experience with FocalBoard. Several times it lost data for no apparent reason, including during updates. Eventually I decided to stop using it because it was too fragile.

Can you use the conversion tool on networks that don’t offer eSIMs directly? There are still many networks, especially smaller or cheaper ones, that only offer physical SIMs.

I understand that hating on OneDrive is popular here, but 1) you can remove it using the registry editor, and 2) if you don’t log in and tell it to sync, it doesn’t do anything in the background.
